    Anyone else getting very odd audio disruption in on Virgin media streaming?

    BBC 1 and Sky Mix both sound like they’re on fast forward - squeaks and garble.

    Still happening - I'm assuming it's a hardware fault at this point.

    The audio just sounds like high speed garble on some random channels. Also had the same issue on Netflix from the Virgin box / puck.

    Try changing Tv audio settings or try Virgin box with another Tv. I doubt it's the box - could be wrong.

    Tried the TV audio settings. There isn't another TV handy here to test it on, but it's a modern fairly high spec Sony that has had no issues previously, so seems unlikely it's the TV tbh.

    Also it's only impacting some VM channels, and when you change to another the issue is gone and it's intermittent.

    This is the 2nd box btw - previous one was tripping out claiming it was receiving low power on their own adaptor. Definitely was no voltage issue, just an extremely fussy box.

    It would randomly start displaying an error message about power.
